Paul W S Anderson on his next and last Resident Evil film

The next Resident Evil movie will definitely be his last, confirms writer/director Paul W S Anderson...

Given that the last two films in the Resident Evil movie series have comfortably cleared $200m at the worldwide box office, it's little surprise that writer/director Paul W S Anderson is pressing ahead with his plans for a sixth film. And he's confirmed, in line with previous comments made, that he's expecting this to be his last one.

Chatting to Collider, Anderson revealed that the working title of the new film is Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. "It may end up being the final title, but that's what's written on the front page of my script", he said. When quizzed as to whether that meant this would be the last film, Anderson said "absolutely".

It's still going to be a while until we see the movie though. "I don't know", Anderson admitted when asked when we might see the final film. "Depends how fast I write, I guess. There's no set date yet, but hopefully we'll have an announcement for that soon".

Our guess would be for a September 2015 release, although that may be cutting things fine. The film will indeed be in 3D again too.
